Target: President Barack Obama
Sponsored by: ONE

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are more than just a mouthful. They are eight poverty-fighting goals -- agreed to by more than 180 countries -- that fight corruption, create new jobs, empower women and increase smart investments to beat poverty and disease. If these goals are achieved, world poverty will be cut by half, tens of millions of lives will be saved, and billions more people will have the opportunity to benefit from the global economy.

Last year, President Obama stood before the UN and made a powerful pledge to the world that the U.S. will support the MDGs and approach next year's summit with a global plan to make them a reality.

This lifesaving pledge is due this September and we need more than just talk. Sign this petition to urge President Obama to follow through on his words and take the lead on achieving the MDGs by 2015.
